In Gear Immobiliser.

Hi,

I know of a classic car that can be started with the key while the automatic transmission is in gear.
I'm of the understanding that this is illegal? If so, does the necessary circuitry need to be certified? And can the work be carried out by myself or does it need to be done by someone certified?
I've had a bit of a look around but can't find much information on this. But if anyone knows where I can find answers, a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time team!

Cheers,
Conrad

Hi Conrad

Wiring in an inhibitor switch does not require certification and I highly recommend it.

Hi Chris,

Thanks heaps for your reply! Should be a fun little project then!!

One other question, would you recommend that the car be able to start in park only or both park and neutral?

Cheers again!

Hi Conrad

You can do either, the important thing is that it does not start in gear.
